Entrances to Delaware Park:

There are three entrances to Delaware Park:

The Kirkwood Entrance is accessible from Kirkwood Highway (Route 2). There is no shuttle bus to the parking area and there is no valet parking. There is handicapped parking area but to reach the Casino or Racetrack you must walk through a tunnel under the railroad.

There is an entrance at the junction of Routes 58 and 4 (Churchman's Road and Ogletown Road). This is the Southwest corner of Park grounds. It is across the street from Christiana Hospital. This entrance provides access to both the Clubhouse and the Casino but is closer to the Clubhouse. (Valet Parking is available $4.00). Shuttle buses run from the Parking Area to the Clubhouse.

There is an entrance near the Junction of Route 4 and 7. This is the Northeast corner of Park grounds. This entrance provides access to both the Casino and the Clubhouse but is closest to the Casino. (Valet Parking is available $4.00). Shuttle buses run from the parking area to the Casino.

It’s a racetrack, but not as you know it!

It was not too long ago that telling someone that you liked to place a bet, whether that was a bet on the horses or spin of the wheel at the casino, was met with a raising of the eyebrow and a disapproving look which implied that you had just admitted to being something of an undesirable character!

My goodness, how things have now changed, it would be fair to say that anyone who has not visited a racetrack for a number of years will visit one today and be completely shocked by the amazing experience that now awaits them.

Gone are the days when the only form of refreshments that were available was a hot dog and a warm beer if were lucky. Anyone who was a racetrack regular back in the day will confirm that the hospitality was more or less non-existent and if anyone speaks of the good old days, well, give me a modern day racetrack any day of the week.

Take Delaware Park for example, from the moment that you walk in you will be met by people who will do everything that they can to make your visit one to remember in every possible way.

It is almost as if the horse racing is the icing on the cake because there is so many other things to do. Adults and children alike are assured of a great time and it is of little wonder why so many people are prepared to travel from the surrounding areas for the Delaware Park experience. Whether that is to enjoy the spectacle of the thoroughbred racehorses, an a la carte meal or a few games at the blackjack table, it doesn’t really matter because the experience will be nothing short of first class.

It is thanks to the forward thinking people behind places like Delaware Park betting who have pulled the gambling industry, kicking and screaming, into the 21st century. The result of this is that a day at the races or time spent at the casino is no longer met with a look of distaste but instead, a look of envy!

If you haven’t visited a modern racetrack recently you may be in for a big surprise, and one that you will be unlikely to forget in a hurry!
